Thanks.

- What about Room 2?

- Oh. Occupied.

Thought you said we'd have

the whole place to ourselves.

No, I said that we have a customer

who might need to stay another night

or a little longer, and...

Sorry about that.

The f*** you're sorry.

We had a deal.

Well, you got the rest of the place

to yourself.

Listen, old man,

I can take my party elsewhere.

So, you either cut me a deal,

or I'm gonna get outta here.

- I'm already giving you a discount.

- Okay.

I've given you a discount, sir...

Hey, listen. Okay, Listen.

Hey! Come hack here.

Come back here, come back here.

All right.

I'll knock off 10 percent.

Ted, show him his rooms.

Pretty sure I can find it.

We're running a dead motel, son.

These rooms just don't know it yet.

What could we do?

You're the one with the business

sense, maybe you could figure it out.

We could leave.

You take after your mother.

- Is that a freshman?

- Hey. Hold up.

You're that kid who lives here,

aren't you?

Do you have any extra soap?

Come on. Just a little sip.

It'll put hair on your chest.

Holy sh*t.

- It burns.

- Holy sh*t.

"It burns. It burns."

You put fire in my throat.

- Come on. We were just playing.

- Come hack!

Marcus. Shots.

F*** you doin'?

Let's go.

Forgot my beer.

What the f*** are you doing?

- The f***?

- Holy sh*t.

What the f*** were you doing?

Let me go!

Let me go!

The f*** was that?

'Get up! He was groping Sarah!

Ouch! Ouch!

- What the f*** were you gonna do?

- Let me go!

- Hey.

- Stop it!

Whoa, man, check it out!

Ow! Ow!

What the f***? Stop it!

Drink! Drink! Drink!

- No! No!

- Stop it! Stop it!

What the f*** is your problem,

a**hole?

- Marcus! Marcus, slop!

- Please! No!

Marcus! Marcus!

Stop! Stop!

F*** off! Get the f*** out!

Are you okay?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad?

Ted?

What...?

What did they do to you?

- Dad...

- Oh, my God.

What did they do to you?

Ted...

Oh, goddamn it. Oh, goddamn it.

Why? Huh?

Why couldn't you listen to me?

Ted, what did I tell you?

What did I say, huh?

You just leave 'em alone, right?

You leave 'em alone! Huh?

You gotta do everything your own way!

Right? Oh, Ted...

All right, you...

You wanna do things your own way?

You wanna run this place?

Is that it?

Huh? All right, well,

here's the first rule.

All right. Here's the first... rule.

You leave the customers alone, Ted!

You leave the goddamn customers

alone!

Goddamn it, Ted.

Ted? Oh, Ted...!

- A sophomore, right?

- A rising sophomore.

Turn that music louder. Come on.

Midnight gettin' uptight

Where are you?

You said you'd meet me

Now it's quarter to two

I know I 'm hangin'

But I'm still wantin' you

Hey, Jack, it's a fact

They're talkin' in town

I tum my back

And you're messin' around

I'm not getting jealous

Don't I look like a clown?

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart

And you took my pride away...

- F***, yeah!

- F***, yeah!

Chug, chug, chug, chug!

- Chug! Chug!

- Go! Go!

Come on!

Sarah.

Wake up. Wake up.

Welcome to the Mountain Vista Motel.

Hope you had a lovely stay.

This is gonna

sting a little bit, buddy.

All right. Hold still.

It's okay.

Yeah, that's okay, buddy.

When was the last time

you saw the man in Room 2?

A few hours ago.

He was looking in some windows.

Didn't he say his wife died in a fire?

We're gonna need to do

a whole sweep of this area.

Put out an APB on a William Colby.

C-O-L-B-Y.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

You have any other family?

I have a mom in Florida.

Ah

Now I don't hardly know her

But I think I can have her

Crimson and clover

Ah

Now when she comes walkin' over

Now I've been waitin' to show her

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Yeah

My, my... such a sweet thing

I wanna do everything

What a beautiful feelin'

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Crimson and clover

Over and over
